Question 1

Where is TAIYO WAAB right now?

Accepted Answer

TAIYO WAAB has not broadcast an AIS position for 29 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South Pacific Ocean, on 10 Jul 2026, 12:36 UTC. It was sailing from YAIZU to YAIZU. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

Question 2

What are the identifiers for TAIYO WAAB?

Accepted Answer

TAIYO WAAB broadcasts MMSI 510060000 and is registered as IMO 9234173, with call sign V6PTW. The MMSI is the radio identifier used by AIS; the IMO number stays with the ship for life and does not change with re-flagging or sale.

Accepted Answer

TAIYO WAAB is classified as a fishing vessel registered under the FM flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full fishing fleet at /vessel-type/fishing and full FM flag list at /flag/fm.
